Mary-worshiping papists are no different than atheists. They both mock God, they both embrace child molestation and perversion, and they both have a special place in hell reserved for them.

That's a shame but if is that the God's plan, I just will see from the heaven how much my family and friends burn in hell

You can laugh at them right along with God!

(Psalms 2:4) "He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision."

Us Catholics don't worship Mary. We honor and respect her because she's the Mother of God.

You pray to her. How is that different from worshiping?

From a Catholic website:

Prayers to the Blessed Virgin Mary

Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, And after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God, That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ...

Holy Mary,
help those in need,
give strength to the weak,
comfort the sorrowful,
pray for God's people,
assist the clergy,
intercede for religious...

These are just the top two prayers from a very long list.

Here is a picture of a bunch of heathens praying to Mary (it's the big statue on the altar; the cross is kinda small and hard to spot on this picture).

Typo for she was? Or do you really believe her to be immortal?

Well, they do pray to her, Mrs. Hun, so they are either a) so stupid to think that she is somehow immortal/undead, or b) so stupid that they pray to a dead corpse. I dunno which one of these two options is worse.

Either way, all Mary worshipers are on their way to .

Makes no difference in the end, as either way they are "so stupid".

They can't be taking her too seriously though, if they talk about "her" and "she" without capital letters.

Ever heard of the Assumption of Mary?

As the dictionary says, once you bring the "religious" bit into it, there is no difference.

So no response to Mrs. E's pointing out the PRAYERS TO MARY?

Allow me to revisit one of them:

Prayer to Mary, Our Lady of Walsingham

O Mary, recall the solemn moment when Jesus,
your divine Son, dying on the Cross,
confided us to your maternal care.
You are our Mother, we desire ever to remain your devout children.
Let us therefore feel the effects of your powerful intercession with Jesus Christ.
make your Name again glorious in the shrine once renowned throughout England by your visits, favours, and many miracles.
Pray, O holy Mother of God, for the conversion of England, restoration of the sick, consolation for the afflicted, repentance of sinners, peace to the departed.
O blessed Mary, Mother of God, our Lady of Walsingham, intercede for us.
Amen.

Now why don't you go and check your Bible to see what it says about Mary's "intercession" with Jesus? Or what it says about her being immortal? Or what it says about her also being immaculately conceived? Or what it says about her rising to Heaven?
